Sorry for not being around lately at this clutch time in our season’s beginnings. Internet went out for a few days and work in the real world and you lose track of how much Rovers stuff is going on.
Here’s whats been going on:
First off, Sunderland stole three points from us. With more corners, shots, and [...]

Skipper Ryan Nelson spoke to the Lancashire Telegraph about Big Sam’s quality as manager and doesn’t expect the club to panic buy this summer.
You can read the article here (click) and from some of the quotes, you can almost sense Nelson being just as annoyed with all the speculation and being linked to EVERY striker [...]
Karl Robinson leaves Rovers for Ince
By: Jimmy | 1 Comment
According to this story on the offish site, Karl has left to go play grab ass with Ince back at MK DONtcare.
During a slow news week, figured any news is news. Hopefully we can pull Sbragia from Sunderland to fill the role.
Rovers are just wrapping up a friendly against Cambridge United away, so hopefully I [...]
No Ruud, No Crouch, Maybe Vieri, and Yuri Zhirkov?!?

Lots of stuff to talk about today, so I’ll jump right to it.
In this interview with SkySports, Sam talks about how Ruud is now out of contention and the Rovers attention.
“I think probably Ruud, from a salary point of view, is out of our reach. And I think he is not going to be fit [...]
Oh..These things don’t take long, do they?

A look at the least ridiculous headlines of the day.
Everybody (well, two places off the top of my search) seems to be linking us to Tal Ben-Haim. Reports say him and his old Gaffer, our very own big Sam, worked well together so Sam is lining up a bid. We’ll see.
Greeks table Derbyshire bid. Or [...]

Well lets see who we brought in shall we?

And the Outs?

So only a net loss of £2.5m and we held on to Roque. But Emerton has been ruled out for the season [...]

A small “I’m sorry” to readers of the Rovers Offside for lack of updates. My first week back at school just ended and I am re acclimating to the Uni life again. Normal service will resume asap. Moving on…
Side note: As you saw we draw Sunderland this [...]
Sunderland….again
By: Jimmy | No Comments
We play Sunderland again tomorrow in the 4th round of the FA cup. We’ve beaten them every time we’ve met in this competition but I feel like we’ve played them so much this year already that it could be any ones game. According to the official site, Roque gets the start while Roberts, Dunn and [...]

By: Jimmy | No Comments
Well the Rovers take a trip to Blue Square North Blyth today to take on the Spartans in the definition on a banana peel game. Currently in 21st out of 22 places, they’re three points shy of the safety spot at 19th. The Rovers’ staff knew just about as much as I did, and [...]
